my grandma is turning 90 on july 5th. we're combining a 4th of july party and her birthday party, and we were told to bring something. can you give me a recipie for some really good to bring to a party? some dessert recipies too!! thanks!!

Beat the mascarpone and caster sugar in a medium mixing bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form. Set aside.

2.

Combine the coffee and Tia Maria or Kahlua (if using) in a large bowl. Dip 1/2 the savoiardi biscuits quickly into the coffee mixture and then arrange over the base of a 1.25-1itre (5-cup) serving dish or six 250mls (1-cup) individual serving glasses. Spread half the mascarpone mixture evenly over the biscuits. Dip the remaining biscuits into the coffee mixture and then arrange in a single layer over the mascarpone layer. Finish with a layer of the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

coarsely chop the tomatoes, toss them into a colander to drain while you chop everything else.deseed the peppers, discard seed and chop (unless you like spots of unholy spicey heat) mince garlicmedium fine chop onionfinely chop the cilantro (I do this because so many people have a hard time with large pieces)

Add everything to a bowl and gently turn & toss - later after all the salsa is gone you can marinate chicken in the juice left over, bake it or pan fry, its awesome!

cook the meat, make the meat into fine granules, sprinkle meat w/ soysauce, sprinkly lightly with sugar, mince onion, garlic, ginger and fine shred the cabbage. spoon the filling carefull into the center of the wraps, use the raw egg to moisten the edge and fold, then crimp and seal. Deep fried is the favorite way to prepare but you can healthfully steam it too.

veggie/spinach dip - its a mix by knorr - its fanfuckingtastic and everyone raves about it. I don't know how no one else knows about it? My secret is using frozen spinach, defrosting it, and squeezing the ever loving shit out of the spinach until its virtually dry before mixing it in.

1 pkg Knorr Vegetable soup mix (can also sub Knorr Leek soup mix....also yummy....or if you're making a double batch do one of each of the soup mix)

Diced green onions

OPTIONAL

Water chestnuts (chopped)Grated cheeseBacon (I sometimes fry up a lb of bacon and chop it up and throw it in...up to you!)

The cream cheese is the biggest difference.....I've never seen a recipe call for it and it makes a WORLD of difference. Everyone always asks me why it's so good and I refuse to tell them! Haha! Mmmm.....my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

boil the rice then rince with cold waterchop up an onion or some spring onionsmix up the onion, tinned tuna and rice with (in the UK we use salad cream but not sure you have that over there) So I would probably use half ranch dressing half mayo.You want it to be a little sticky but not too sloppy.

Easiest and tastiest party food I make - I know your not a huge fan of cooking :-)
